Mini Homestead Happenings for 6/19/2009

Posted by Shannon Buck on June 19, 2009

I haven’t really been doing too much homesteading stuff this week. I am going through the rooms quickly looking for yard sale items to try to raise some money for bills. Today marks the first day of the yard sale.

I am simply going to lay everything out and have people make offers. Less work for me. I also have a small box of items that I will be giving away free.

After today’s yard sale, we are taking Zowie to the university. I won’t see her again for about a week. Maybe two, if she decided to spend a weekend with her best friend.

Let’s see what I can accomplish while she is gone this summer.

Hope you are all doing well.

Shannon
